Everything about Federal Law totally explained
Federal law is the body of
law created by the
federal government of a
nation. A federal government is formed when a group of political units, such as
states or
provinces join together in a
federation, surrendering their individual
sovereignty and many powers to the
central government while retaining or reserving other limited powers. As a result, two or more levels of government exist within an established geographic territory. The body of law of the common central government is the federal law.
Examples of federal governments include those of
Russia,
Australia, the
United States,
Canada,
India,
Germany and the former
Soviet Union.
United States
The
United States Constitution provides for a federal government that's superior to
state governments with regard to its
enumerated powers. These powers include the authority to govern
international affairs, the
currency, and
national defense. After the
American Civil War, the
Fourteenth Amendment applied the Constitution's
Bill of Rights to state governments. Issues that arise under any legislation passed by
Congress, an
Executive Order of the
President, or a decision of
federal courts pursuant to the Constitution are governed by federal law.
The
Supreme Court has the final authority to interpret the Constitution and makes final decisions regarding all federal laws. United States federal laws are
codified in the
United States Code.
